Straight From the Tortured Poets Department

Tomorrow, I release a book. A poetry book. No one is more surprised than me. For most of my life, the idea of me publishing poetry was about as likely as the Sears Demon™ winning a Pulitzer. I sat through two semesters of poetry workshops in college, where the general consensus seemed to be: maybe

My Author Bio is a Lie Brought to You by ADHD

I have no words to truly describe the absolute wild ride that has been 2025 so far, so I’m not going to even bother. Instead I’m going to quietly accept that it is somehow already March and just move on. It is Sunday afternoon as I sit and write this. Sundays are typically my day

It’s Like a Novel… But Shorter

Someone offered me adderall the other day and I’m starting to think I should have taken it.  For legal reasons… that was a joke? I’ve never actually taken adderall but I’ve been told many times that I should be on it.  Oh, what would my life be like if I was properly medicated? It’s just

So Many Words, So Little Time

I can say for certain that one of my many pet peeves is when someone tells me I have the same amount of hours as some celebrity. We’ve all heard it before, especially when it comes to creative pursuits and telling you that you can accomplish so much because we all have the same amount

The Unhinged Ramblings of a Third Grader; or, My Journey to Becoming a Writer

Every once and a while I remember that Twitter/X exists and I show up like the drunk uncle on Christmas and unleash an onslaught of nonsense only to disappear into the abyss only to resurface at the next major holiday. Last week was an event called QuestPit, a writer’s hype event where writers come together

The End; or, The Impossible Art of Letting Go

Finishing a novel is the weirdest thing in the world. At least for me. At least now it is. I shall explain (in my own way which will likely only make sense to me but you’ve already started reading so you might as well commit and finish the whole thing… NO ONE LIKES A QUITTER!).

The Sneaky Return of the Not-So-Prolific Blogger

Oh, hello there! Remember me? The blogger who mysteriously vanished into thin air, leaving you all in a state of suspense, desperately wondering what on earth had happened? Well, fear not, my dear readers, for I have returned from the depths of… well, wherever I was hiding, to grace you with my ever-erratic presence once

How to Survive NaNoWriMo Without Losing Your NaNo-mind: A Tale of Two Years and Zero Mythical Circuses

Ah, NaNoWriMo – that time of year when writers around the world attempt to churn out 50,000 words in 30 days. It’s a daunting task, to say the least. And many are able to accomplish that goal with flying colors and I say, good for them. Even though NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is in

The 2021 Wrap Up Post I Promised Myself I Wasn’t Going to Write

I really had no intention of writing a post today, much less one wrapping up the year. I was planning on waiting until the new year to start writing posts again all while pretending I didn’t spend all of 2021 sinking to a new low of being a terrible blogger. Then about two hours ago,

The Rise and Fall of the 800-Year Old Swamp Witch

It’s Sunday, already? How the ever-loving hell did that happen? This time last week I was freaking out about my book being born into the world and now it has happened! If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, you probably should. You can do that by clicking here. It’s okay, I’ll wait. Things were
